Gavler Meta-Score
“The most-portable serious multi-fuel option. 12 inches, ~34 lbs, real wood flavor, and the improved heat retention that the Karu 12 was missing.”
The Gavler Verdict

Multi-Fuel Tray
It burns wood or charcoal with a redesigned fuel tray, and accepts an optional gas adapter for added convenience.
ClearView Glass Door
A borosilicate glass door lets you watch the bake while a coating helps reduce sooty buildup on the glass.
Cordierite Baking Stone
A 15mm cordierite stone fitting 12-inch pizzas holds heat for fast, even cooking in roughly 60 to 90 seconds.
Technical Specifications
The Scoreboard
Reviewers consider it an excellent value multi-fuel oven for wood-fired flavor, though it tops out at 12-inch pizzas and gas operation requires buying the adapter separately.
